Here are a number of reasons why you should be excited for Rockstar’s latest crime adventure, L.A. Noire. For the full details check out GameZone.com

Looking over Rockstar’s back catalog, it’s interesting to note how far they’ve come since Grand Theft Auto III first became the poster child for violent video games. Rockstar’s detractors have often argued that the company’s titles lack real substance and are merely threadbare plots stitched together as an excuse to include wanton violence and sexual mischief. If you look hard enough, a bit of brilliance shines through the blood-spattered windshield. With each game they release, Rockstar evolves beyond the simple mindless destruction that first attracted players, and Grand Theft Auto IV’s take on the “American dream” is one of the more complex themes to be explored in the medium. Seeing then how much they’ve matured, we’re excited for the developer’s latest title, a gritty crime drama set not in the modern parody world of Grand Theft Auto’s Liberty City, but in the sunny streets of 1940s Los Angeles.
